The roster caps are definitely an issue for some.

The reality is, if you're not on Capital Blue, offers will be few and far between. You can get offers to some schools that don't have the name recognition, but nothing close to a Duke or Michigan. Even the back half of the Capital Blue roster will not go to top tier lax schools. They will get funneled to higher academic schools. It's highly competitive out there so set expectations.

This will largely be the case for the '26s. But for '28s, '29s and beyond, it's looking like it'll stack up quite differently.

Good luck to all the girls.

I hope the M&D DC ‘29s are paying attention to the Capital recruits at ‘26.

I can tell you they paid attention to the '25s, and what that high ranked team wasn't able to do. So maybe. Aren't there still like 15-17 uncommitted Cap Blue and how is Cap Orange doing?

You didn't mention feeder Pride Red? Oh, that's right, all their top players just came over to M&D DC. In 8th grade.

A one year detour before the majority try out for Capital next year.

Yeah. That happens all the time to Pride Red. They just wanted to make more friends.

Pride has been in a free fall since the 26’s left for Capital.

They still have a solid core of middies and attack and will do fine.

Good for these girls! Just another example of how girls know that when you get to high school you move to a team with a recruiting history!

I don't know why those girls left but I doubt it was because of "recruiting history".

You don't think girls went to M&D or Hero's to get recruited?

Hero’s has probably the best lacrosse program in the country in terms of on field success at the moment. The recruiting history tells another tale though in terms of attracting the top academic schools consistently. M&D has a better history but will be interesting to see how ‘27- ‘29 play out. I agree with the PP that Capital is the place to get recruited for top academics.

Hearing the Cap '27s and '28s don't have the same academic profile. It'll be interesting to see whether W lax can get Cap the spots at top academics without it.

How could you possibly know the academic profiles of the Capital players? Did you assess this also while watching practice from the slanted roof?

Interesting that you commented on this post, but not the one it commented on that stated Cap was the place to be recruited for top academics based on a different group of players.

Because at least there is some empirical evidence to support the high GPAs of some of the 2026s (Yale, Michigan, Dartmouth). Unless you have hacked into these ‘28s 8th grade grades you have no basis for your moronic statement.

You don't seem to be following along close enough. The poster (you?) alluded to past players making it to top academics as a reason to believe that's the place future classes should look in order to get that. Meanwhile, it's different sets of players. So pulling that conclusion is faulty.

And for what it's worth, people talk.

I heard from my daughter that one of the Capital Blue players was unhappy with her grade on her first math quiz. Not getting off to a good start for Capital!

The M&D 2030 team will have a better recruiting class than Capital Blue, M&D Black, and Hero’s Green. Mark it down.

I am hearing about lots of full scholarships being offered to Cap Blue players, but the players are looking for the most academically prestigious schools. I have heard that most of them do not prioritize the lacrosse ranking. They are not majoring in lacrosse, and most of them do not have plans to play professional lacrosse. At these highly academic institutions, players must meet the academic index, so they not only need to excel in lacrosse but also needthe grades to meet the academic index. If you are a highly skilled player but have low grades you will need to cast a wider net since there are too many skilled players with really high grades that will take the spot! Grades are really, really important and open the door for your player. I cannot stress that enough. I am hearing this cap blue 2026 team has one of the highest GPA of the 2026 class-- the committs so far reflect it.

Most of these girls committing to Ivy League schools are above average lacrosse players, achieve top grades at private schools, and most likely come from families with high net worths. It's a nice combination to have.

And this is the typical Capital player profile.

Yes, the typical Capital player that never sees the field in college.

Yeah, you are so right. Would much rather get tons of playing time at Florida Atlantic than a degree from Yale/Michigan/Notre Dame/Dartmouth etc.

I've heard great things about the Owls club lacrosse team

I’m sure the Owls are a fine team.

I can tell you they paid attention to the '25s, and what that high ranked team wasn't able to do. So maybe. Aren't there still like 15-17 uncommitted Cap Blue and how is Cap Orange doing?

You didn't mention feeder Pride Red? Oh, that's right, all their top players just came over to M&D DC. In 8th grade.

Can you clarify what you mean in terms of the ‘25s and “what that high ranked team wasn’t able to do”?

The Cap Blue ‘25s had one of the best recruiting classes in the country:

-UNC
-ND
-Michigan
-Florida x2
-Duke x2
-Johns Hopkins x2
-Denver
-Vanderbilt
-Stanford
-VA Tech
-Colorado
-Dartmouth
-Holy Cross
-Marquette
-Cincinnati
-Navy
-FSU
-AZ State

So?

As for the ‘26s, you imply that having 15-17 uncommitted is an issue one week into the period. Actually, having 5 strong commitments that fast is what’s unusual.

Most of the Inside Lacrosse Top 10 haven’t committed yet, much less the 4 and 5-stars, so your implication is just wrong. Check back in November to assess how a club’s class did overall.

Bottom line, your post is either uniformed or trolling.
